Get More Omnibox Suggestions in Google Chrome

As almost everybody knows by now, Google has released their Chrome web browser, a stripped down browser built for speed and an inline search bar known as the Omnibox. The only problem is that by default there are only 5 suggestions, but with a simple command line switch we can increase that number.

Google Chrome can be adjusted here.

Locate the Google Chrome Shortcut from your Start Menu.

Right-click and select Properties.

Now append the command line parameter -omnibox-popup-count=12 at the end of the Target Path field.

OK out of the popup and now the next time Chrome is launched from the shortcut your Omnibox will return a larger results set.

In Ubuntu, on the desktop, right click on the Application menu and select Edit Menus. Navigate to wine->Programs->Google Chrome on the left pane. Double click on Google Chrome on the right pane and edit the Command.
